2008 Robotic Finger
The 2007–2008 Robotic Hand team worked this semester to improve on previous years’ designs by adding a third degree of freedom, making the actuators smaller, adding more intermediate positions, developing a fluid control method, and decreasing the time response. This wiki will contain all of the thoughts and ideas we went through in designing this finger, as well as the failed ideas and prototypes we worked on along the way. We hope to leave a lasting legacy of our work so that future teams can continue with our designs and learn from our mistakes to improve the finger design and eventually make a fully functional self-contained finger-actuator system for use in a biorobotic hand.
